February 5th

Last week was an exciting week!  The students enjoyed coming to school in their pjs and watching a movie, doing activities celebrating the 100th day of school (Can you believe there is less than 80 days of school left?), wearing wacky hair or a hat, craft and chat with a special guest, and Junior Achievement Day with Seton La Salle students.

We are in need of markers and pencils.  If you haven't yet, please send in new markers and pencils to school for your child to use for school work.  Thank you for your help. 

Have a great week and please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  Don't forget to look at your child's planner.
